The country
South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks does not publish a mapped boundary for MZD-ST1, so there is no map to draw. The agency describes it as “Statewide (muzzleloader, excludes Custer State Park)”.
How the hunting has gone
What South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks publishes for this area after each season — harvest statistics for everyone who hunted it, not draw odds and not a forecast. South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks publishes these per hunt rather than per unit; the rows below add its own figures together, since a hunter holds one tag for the species in a season. South Dakota's figures are Game, Fish and Parks post-season survey estimates, expanded from mandatory hunter reporting by the response rate — not a count of animals checked in.
